A Good example

Hi,
Mary from Chatfuel here (a no-code platform for building Messenger chatbots). We run a weekly YouTube show for our audience of business owners and marketers, and I'd love to have you join us as an expert guest on the upcoming episode!
The topic is "How to Launch a Profitable, Wildly Successful Shopify Store". I know our audience will benefit from your expertise!
We promote each show to our audience of:
Plus, it's not a live show, which means we'll send you the questions and have you record video responses on your own schedule—whenever works for you.
Finally, we'll give you a free Chatfuel Pro account as a thank-you for participating. You can use it to automate lead generation, FAQs, eCommerce, and more through your Facebook page.
Let me know if you're interested in joining us on the show and we can talk specifics!
Cheers,
Mary
Why it’s good:
She leaves the product mention to one short sentence - not a long explanation with features....
She says and bold's the phrase "expert guest" - agency founders HAVE to show thought leadership to keep their agency demand gen efforts going. This talks directly to those founders.
She lists the reach of the co-marketing.
And... she gives this agency a free account.

Subject: Clemmons & Outbound Email
Hi Nolan,
As the CEO at Clemmons I figured you would be the best person to reach out to.
Our team has been working with marketing and advertising companies like yours to offer an edge on their competition with the world's first AI-powered outbound engine that abstracts all of the work that goes into launching outbound email campaigns at scale. One client was able to generate 90k in proposals in their first 60 days.
Nolan, would you be open to a short 15-minute call this week to see if there is a mutual fit?
All the best,
Phil

P.S I reached out to Clemmons because after looking at your website, I genuinely thought you might benefit from what we do. If you don't want to hear from me again please don't hesitate to let me know.

Subject: Get the most from your webinars using ON24
Hi Christopher,
We have not properly met, my name is Steven and I oversee the potential relationship with Measured Results Marketing here at ON24, the leading webinar marketing platform.
Data-driven customers looking for an engaging and interactive solution use ON24 for their webinars as our technology allows for a seamless experience for attendees (no apps, downloads or plugins to get in), to create a fully brandable and interactive interface (attendees can download resources, fill out surveys, complete polls, etc.) and ultimately measure ROI through our incredibly detailed reports and analytics (that integrate with your CRM and Marketing Automation systems).
I would love the chance to connect and see if there's an opportunity for ON24 to help with your webinar efforts. Let me know if you have a few minutes over the next week or so.
Thank you,
Steven

Dear Nolan
I came across your article on sales prospecting tools which I really enjoyed.
I was wondering if you have any existing partnerships with Linkedin automation tools currently. If not, it would be great to discuss to understand if there might be an opportunity to partner with Salesloop.
Best Regards
